New Explosions in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi Despite Pezeshkian Pledge to Halt Gulf Attacks

Despite Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stating on Saturday that attacks on Persian Gulf countries would stop, new explosions were reported in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi on Saturday evening. Witnesses described a series of powerful blasts in Bahrain, though it remained unclear whether the sounds resulted from missile impacts or interception by air defense systems. The UAE Ministry of Defense confirmed the sounds were caused by the interception of Iranian missiles and drones. A video reportedly filmed at Dubai Airport circulated alongside the reports.
